<>Greetings! I'm trying to find rrn and nntp for our VAX/VMS users.

Just wanted to let everyone know that anonymous ftp on krypton.arc.nasa.gov
may not be available after the end of February 1990. If anyone is interested
in getting a version of VNEWS after that time you can send mail to me at:

howells@earth.arc.nasa.gov

also, if anyone would care to take VNEWS on in another anon ftp host, please
feel free to do so.
